• Represent LLPM at executive and board level, contributing to group-wide decision-making and investment planning.

Operational Excellence:

• Oversee the mobilisation and performance of a property operations business including repairs and maintenance, lettings, property management, inbound customer queries, complaints, credit control, and accounts.
• Build out and scale robust systems and processes for lettings, repairs, maintenance, arrears, finance, compliance, and customer service.

Customer Experience:

• Champion a high-quality, consistent customer journey across all LLPM-managed homes.
• Embed a culture of responsiveness, transparency, and care in all customer interactions.
• Lead initiatives to improve tenant satisfaction and retention, including onboarding, inspections, and feedback loops.

People & Culture:

• Build and inspire a high-performing team, fostering a collaborative and inclusive culture.
• Lead recruitment, development, and succession planning for key operational roles.
• Promote cross-functional collaboration with Finance, Change, Strategy, and Customer teams.

Governance & Compliance:

• Ensure LLPM meets all regulatory, legal, and health & safety obligations.
• Maintain oversight of risk management, audit readiness, and data integrity.
• Act as the accountable person for LLPM's compliance with landlord and property management standards.

ESSENTIAL EXPERIENCE

• Proven leadership in residential property management, preferably within a regulated or institutional landlord environment.
• Demonstrated experience in setting up and running a large property management business from the ground up, including team structuring, process design, and systems implementation, with specific experience of Single Family Housing.

Strategic PropTech Leadership:

• Extensive experience in selecting, implementing, and scaling property technology platforms across geographically distributed portfolios.

Systems Integration & Operational Design:

• Proven track record of integrating core operational systems-including repairs platforms, compliance tracking tools, customer portals, and financial systems into a cohesive and scalable operating model.
• Experience designing vertically integrated operating structures that balance regional autonomy with centralised governance and control.

Scalable Platform Delivery:
